<div>I had a good friend of mine tell me about an investment opportunity that.... well... I just couldn't pass up myself! Having been in the wine industry for almost 15 years in CA and recently moving to AZ, I really wanted to somehow get back into the wine industry…. Have never encountered such a “forward thinking” idea like this one and after VERY carefully and painfully going through this vineyard and winery investors packet, I invested. <br/>One month later, we had an article in the Wall Street Journal, and many more to come! If anyone is interested in more info, let me know and I will pass on whatever info I can.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/arizonawinelovers">ARIZONA WINELOVERS</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Not Grigio, but Gris-DAMMIT! why is this one always so tough tom come by unless I spend $20 or more? Any tasty Gris that you have enjoyed? <br/>For wine enjoyers, might I recommend the Caffe Boa on Mill for happy hour-great 1/2 price wine selection &amp; 1/2 price appetizers-yummy ones. No bar food here. <br/>BUT! HH is only at the bar and well, there aint too many seats!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/arizonawinelovers">ARIZONA WINELOVERS</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Yeah so... I've got a strong urge to fly, but will settle for basic knowledge of wine... the intellectual kind. <br/>I'm not gonna bother with "Wine for Dummies", but would love a recommendation of another work for a novice wino as I. <br/>Kyrka</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/arizonawinelovers">ARIZONA WINELOVERS</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hi Guys, <br/> <br/>The wine-making equipment was easy enough to locate, but what about the grapes? <br/> <br/>If you’ve made your own wine, any advice on how to obtain a small quantity of quality grapes for an at-home vintage? I believe that the grapes at your typical, established vineyards are already reserved, with plots contracted out to various wineries, no? <br/> <br/>As it is right now, it seems that I will have to stick with the concentrates…I guess this will work as I continue to figure out what the hell I am doing…but I have attitude…I mean, I don’t want some concentrate that’s as old as the relic sitting behind the counter…and, more importantly, I want the satisfaction of crushing my own grapes, dammit! <br/> <br/>Also, any input on these McWinery experiences that are popping up here and there (e.g. CrushPad in the SF Bay Area)? Again, I have attitude but haven’t actually tried them or spoken to anyone who has used them…so my prejudice has no basis… <br/> <br/>Thanks for your input. Here’s my offering in return: Mauritson zinfandels. Some friends and I found this winery in Healdsburg, CA a few years back when the winery was just starting so we had the opportunity to speak with the winemaker and toss a Frisbee with his dog. His family has owned vineyards for years and years but never made wine. He decided to take a shot at winemaking and its doing pretty well, being stocked in some flashy restaurants in NYC and the like…whatever; I thought it was pretty tasty and I’m typically not a huge fan of zinfandels. <br/> <br/>Out.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/arizonawinelovers">ARIZONA WINELOVERS</a> - 0 replies </div>
